Which National Football Teams are currently without a Head Coach?

When it comes to having a permanent head coach, one can always turn to any national football team. Especially in a World Cup year, having a settled head coach with a clear vision for the future is a must. But these few national football teams do not have that privilege. They are in the hunt for a permanent head coach who will revive their projects and boost them to the next level. Here are a few nations without a permanent head coach. Here's a look at the National Football Teams Head Coaches.

List of National Football Teams Without Head Coaches

A few top countries on this list have done well in the recent past but are on the hunt for a new boss.

Ukraine National Football Team

After a heartbreaking loss to Sweden in the World Cup qualifying playoff, the Ukraine National Football Team fell out of contention for this summer's showpiece event. It also proved to be the last straw for Serhiy Rebrov as he stepped down from the head coach position.

A former Tottenham Hotspur and Ukraine striker, Rebrov, took over the team in 2023 but has failed to help them qualify for either the Euros or the World Cup. Before the qualifiers for the 2028 Euros begin, the Ukrainian Association of Football is on the hunt for a new coach.

Bangladesh National Football Team

Javier Cabrera has been a regular fixture in the Bangladeshi dugout since 2022. The Spaniard has delivered only 10 wins in his four-year tenure, but he had an iconic result against India recently. However, his 10 draws and 19 losses overshadow the positives as the team is now trying to integrate Europe-born talents like Hamza Choudhury. With Cabrera's contract set to expire on April 30, the board has asked him to reapply instead of extending his contract. If they find a better candidate, they will move ahead with them.

Gabon National Football Team

The Panthers are blessed with abundant talent like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mauro Lemina. But the Panthers have struggled of late on the continental stage. Thierry Mouyouma was let go after the squad struggled at the 2025 AFCON. A group stage finish with three losses in three games was unacceptable. They are desperately trying to find a new head coach.

Libya National Football Team

The reason for the departure of Aliou Cisse from the Libyan National Football Team had nothing to do with football. The 2021 AFCON winner with Senegal, took charge of Libya in March 2025. But recently, he announced the termination of his contract due to financial reasons. According to “Foot Africa”, Cisse worked for eight months without receiving a salary as the board struggled with finances. It was enough for the coach to end his tenure after delivering 3 wins, 5 draws, and just 2 losses in his 10 games in charge.

Here are a few more national football teams without a main man:

• Eswantini National Football Team
• Libya National Football Team
• Tonga National Football Team
• Turks and Caicos Island National Football Team
